So I have all these experiences/people/events that are great inspiration for stories/books with the right setting, expansion and organization. But what does it take to be able to actually write a fiction book? I assume a lot more than people would initially expect.
Do you take a creative writing class, read books on writing books, find a mentor or just start pounding away? My guess is it is a combination of all of the above.
I think to be a successful writer I need to learn a bit more discipline and structure to my writing and quite frankly to my thoughts.
Also should I start with my lighthearted chick lit ideas or my more serious, heartfelt ideas?
Suggestions or Comments?
